Ah- my drywall is up! Ah- the painter is hired. Ah- we are shopping tomorrow for the necessaties. Our drywall guy suggested a place called 'Assets'- a massive warehouse with anything and everything the remodeler could need- at killer pricing. So- that being said we put the bathroom on hold for 2 days until Shaun was off work. Why pay lowes price when you can pay SA price for new stuff? I thought I would add some pics as to what I am currently living in.

I feel as if there's no point in cleaning- it all seems messy anyways- but a clean house, or somewhat clean, is a must, so... The fishtank is no longer in my living room- WOO-HOO! I love my man but I have never liked that tank in my living space. I mean- how french/provincial country can you make a 65 gallon fish tank look? Things are rolling along. Hopefully they will go at warp speed soon- Shauns brother, his wife and their daughter come into town the end of this month, and a massive deck/pool build begins on the 1st of June. I have been praying that this whole home remodel project would allow us some oppurtunity for ministering to others. It's funny how God uses things like having a guy in your house doing drywall to work in YOUR life, not neccessarily the non-believers! Example- aren't we usually on our best behavior in front of others. Not fake, not phony, just more aware of how we respond to people, or um, shall we say our children? I have been high strung this week, not feeling well and irritable. Easily impatient, and well, my kids have been out of sorts too. After 2 days of the drywall guy in my home things are back to peacefullness. I realize it is because of MY response to my children. My response changed. Not my children first, not my feeling crummy. My RESPONSE. How convicting! How grateful I am that God chooses to work in my heart still, even as stubborn and crusty as it can be. How I pray that God did use our lives in said drywall guys life to make an impact, and how blessed I am that God used drywall guy being here to work in my heart!

About Me

I love my Hubby and sons- God knew what I needed and He has profoundly blessed me! I also love to design/decorate on a whim, a penny, and a big mess! Seriously- I adore taking something old and seemingly ugly and giving it new life and gorgeousness. I can get a bit obsessive when working on a project/room. I have been known to spray paint my face, or um, leave paint rings in the grass... I never can find what I want new in the store- I need vintage, and many different fabrics to choose from...I LOVE to read, HATE scary movies(vampires, werewolves and Zombies are O.K.-they don't qualify as scary)have a crazy fear of the pitch black, and do in fact snort when I laugh hard. So does my 3 yr old. Red is my fave color, and I adore painted toenails. I hunt bugs, dig worms for our pet snake, and despise Beer. Come join me as I remake our house into a home and live the daily adventure of a mom having 3 boys in 3 years.
